I'm using Safari on OS X with Ad Block Plus and get ZERO ads...zero.

And I'm referring to those using Windows.

Last I knew, VGChartz doesn't use pop-under advertising.

Oh I know. I just thought I'd throw in a user report so maybe we can narrow it down etc.

yeah this site has all sorts of suspicious activity going on with its ads... guess that is what happens when a site whores itself out to questionable sources.

Don't talk about Nikkom like that.

I was going to ask about this, I get redirected to "update Java" and it downloads a sodding installer on my PC, and browsing from my HTC One it says about flashplayer.

I had some ads caused from malware, but I've fixed those and I haven't seen anything yet.

The one malaware I can't seem to get rid of is the one that keeps changing the weekly numbers to make a certain console look better

And I have adblock :/

I almost always use my phone, and an hour ago was the first time that happened to me, opened a new window with that crap...

As for ad-block, everyone should use it. A pro-active website will find a way to earn advertising income without harassing its users.
